The Shuler Hensley Awards celebrate the best in high school musical theatre, and are named for Marietta native Shuler Hensley, who won a Tony for his performance in Oklahoma! in 2002. The awards are produced by ArtsBridge Foundation, which puts together a panel of professionals to attend performances at participating Georgia high schools and evaluate them in more than a dozen categories. This year, 75 schools from 28 different counties are taking part in the program, which culminates with the 9th Annual Georgia High School Musical Theatre Awards on Thursday, April 20th at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The winner of Best Actor and Actress will go to New York in June for the National High School Musical Theatre Awards.
